Rome, S01E02- How Titus Pullo Brought Down The Republic

Published: Aug. 8, 2019, 11:10 a.m.

Thank you so much to Shaun for purchasing another episode of Rome! I'm really looking forward to watching more, as I'm super interested in the politics of everything.
This episode, I get what I thought I wanted with Lucius's reunion with his wife Niobe. However, there's been quite a bit going on since he went off to war, and although Niobe manages to convince him that the baby she's toting around is actually their grandchild, we find out at the end of the episode that she's been laboring under the misapprehension that her husband is dead...so she hooked up with someone else.
Meanwhile, Ceasar is over here playing a game that poor Pompey can't even remotely keep up with. He sends in Marc Anthony to do a job he knows the dude will be bad at, because he needs to get Pompey and his supporters riled up. It works out pretty much as well as it could, and the episode ends with him riding on Rome.
I hope you all are enjoying the coverage, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
